General Information

Stinger" herbicide is recommended for selective, postemergence control of broadleaf weeds in asparagus, barley, oats and wheat not underseeded with a legume, canola, Christmas tree plantations, fallow cropland, field corn, garden beet, grasses grown for seed, mint (spearmint and peppermint), popcorn, spinaCh, stone fruits, sugarbeet, sweet corn, turnip, cottonwood/poplar and eucalyptus tree plantations,


rangeland and permanent grass pastures, conservation reserve program (CRP) acres, and non-cropland areas including fence rows, around farm buildings, and equipment pathways.

Precautions and Restrictions

• Use directions in Dow AgroSciences supplemental labeling may supersede directions or limitations in this labeling.

• In California and New York, the maximum application rate for Stinger is 213 pint per acre per growing season. Do not exceed a cumulative amount of 2/3 pint [0.25 Ib acid equivalent (a.e.)J of clopyralid per acre per crop year.

• Not for Sale, Use or Distribution in Nassau and Suffolk Counties in New York State.

• Do not contaminate irrigation ditches or water used for irrigation or domestic purposes.

• Stinger may be applied by aircraft on the following crops: spinach, canola (rapeseed), and cram be. Do not apply Stinger by aircraft to other labeled crops unless otherwise perm ilted by Dow AgroSciences supplemental labeling or product bulletins.

• Do not use in greenhouses.

• Chemigation: Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.

• Re-treatment is allowed, but do not apply more than the maximum allowable rate per crop growing season. An application to fallow cropland preceding or following an application to dryland small grains (wheat, barley or oats) is allowed, but is not allowed preceding or following an application to irrigated small grains.

• Do not transfer livestock from treated grazing areas (or feeding of treated hay) to sensitive broadleaf crop areas without first allowing 7 days of grazing on an untreated pasture (or feeding of treated hay). If livestock are transferred within less than 7 days of grazing untreated pasture or eating untreated hay, urine and manure may contain enough clopyralid to cause injury to sensitive broadleaf plants.

• Field Bioassay Instructions: In fields previously treated with this product, plant short test rows of the intended rotational crop across the original direction of application in a manner to sample field conditions such as soil texture, soil pH, drainage, and any other variable that could affect the seed bed of the new crop. The field bioassay can be initiated at any time between harvest of the treated crop and the planting of the intended rotational crop. Observe the test crop for herbicidal activity, such as poor stand (effect on seed germination) chlorosis (yellowing), and necrosis (dead leaves or shoots), or stunting (reduced growth). If herbicidal symptoms do not occur, the test crop can be grown. If there is apparent herbicidal activity, do not plant the field to the test rotational crop; plant only a labeled crop or crop listed in the table below for which the rotational interval has clearly been met.

Crop Rotation Intervals

Residues of Stinger in treated plant tissues, including the treated crop or weeds, which have not completely decayed may affect succeeding susceptible crops.

3. Crop injury and/or yield loss may occur up to 4 years after application. A field bioassay is also recommended prior to planting these sensitive crops. See instructions above.

t Note: The above intervals are based on average annual precipitation, regardless of irrigation practices. Observance of recommended crop rotation intervals should result in adequate safety to rotational crops.

l¢o

A2A 1 Stinger 1 Notif 1 03-24-04 Page 9

However, Stinger is dissipated in the soil by microbial activity and the rate of microbial activity is dependent on several interrelating factors including soil moisture, temperature and organic matter. Therefore, accurate prediction of rotational crop safety is not possible. In areas of low organic matter «2.0%) and less than 15 inches average annual precipitation, potential for crop injury may be reduced by burning or removal of plant residues, supplemental fall irrigation and deep moldboard plowing prior to planting the sensitive crop.

Avoiding Injury to Non-Target Plants

This product can affect susceptible broadleaf plants directly through foliage and indirectly by root uptake from treated soil. Therefore, do not apply Stinger directly to, or allow spray drift to come in contact with, vegetables, flowers, tomatoes, potatoes, beans, lentils, peas, alfalfa, sunflowers, soybeans, safflower, or other desirable broadleaf crops or ornamental plants or soil where sensitive crops will be planted the same season. (See guidance on Crop Rotation Restrictions.)

Residues In Plants or Manure: Do not use plant residues, including hay or straw from treated areas, or manure or bedding straw from animals that have grazed or consumed forage from treated areas, for composting or mulching, where susceptible plants may be grown the following season. Do not spread manure from animals that have grazed or consumed forage or hay from treated areas on land used for growing susceptible broadleaf crops. To promote herbicidal decomposition, plant residues should be evenly incorporated or burned. Breakdown of clopyralid in crop residues or manure is more rapid under warm, moist soil conditions and may be enhanced by supplemental irrigation.

Avoid Movement of Treated Soli Avoid conditions under which soil from treated areas may be moved or blown to areas containing susceptible plants. Wind-blown dust containing clopyralid may produce visible symptoms, such as epinasty (downward curving or twisting of leaf petioles or stems) when deposited on susceptible plants; however, serious injury is unlikely. To minimize potential movement of clopyralid on wind-blown dust, avoid treatment of powdery dry or light sandy soils until soil is settled by rainfall or irrigation or irrigate shortly after application.

Avoid Spray Drift

Avoid spray drift since very small quantities of the spray, which may not be visible, may severely injure susceptible crops during active growth or dormant periods. Use coarse sprays to minimize drift. To aid in further reducing drift, a drift control or depOSition agent suitable for agricultural use may be used with this product. If used, follow all use recommendations and precautions on the product label.

Ground Application: With ground equipment, spray drift can be lessened by keeping the spray boom as low as possible, by applying 10 gallons or more of spray per acre, by keeping the operating spray pressures at the manufacturer's minimum recommended pressures for the specified nozzle type used (low pressure nozzles are available from spray eqUipment manufacturers), and by spraying when the wind velocity is low (follow state regulations). Avoid application under completely calm conditions which may be conducive to air inversion. In hand-gun applications, select the minimum pressure required to obtain adequate plant coverage without form ing a m is!. Do not apply with a mist blower.

Aerial Application: With aircraft, drift can be lessened by using straight stream nozzles directed straight back; by using a spray boom no longer than 3/4 the wing span of the aircraft; by using drift control systems or drift control additives; and, by keeping spray pressures low enough to provide coarse spray droplets. Do not use a thickening agent with the Microfoil or Thru-Valve booms, or other systems that cannot accommodate thick sprays. Spray only when wind velocity is low (follow state regulations). Avoid calm conditions which may be conducive to air inversions.

Do not apply by aircraft when an air temperature inversion exists. Such a condition is characterized by little or no wind and lower air temperature near the ground than at higher levels. The use of a smoke device on the aircraft or continuous smoke column at or near site of application will indicate air direction

/dj~g A2A / Stinger / Notif / 03-24-04 Page 10

and velocity, and whether a temperature inversion is present, as indicated by horizontal layering of the smoke.

Sprayer Clean-Out To avoid injury to desirable plants, equipment used to apply Stinger should be thoroughly cleaned before re-using to apply any other chemicals.

1. Rinse and flush application equipment thoroughly at least 3 times with water after use. Dispose of rinse water by application to treatment area or in non-cropland area away from water supplies.

2. During the second rinse, add 1 qt of household ammonia for every 25 gallons of water. Circulate the solution through the entire system so that all internal surfaces are contacted (15-20 minutes). Let the solution stand for several hours, preferably overnight.

3. Flush the solution out of the spray tank through the boom. 4. Rinse the system twice with clean water, recirculating and draining each time. 5. Remove nozzles and screens and clean separately.

Mixing Instructions

1. Add 3/4 of the required spray volume to the spray tank and start agitation. 2. Add the required amount of Stinger. 3. Add any surfactants, adjuvants or drift control agents according to manufacturer's label. 4. Agitate during final filling of the spray tank and maintain sufficient agitation during application to ensure

uniformity of the spray mixture.

Note: Allow time for thorough mixing of each spray ingredient before adding the next. If allowed to stand after mixing, agitate spray mixture before use.

Tank Mixing This product may be applied in tank mix combination with labeled rates of other products provided (1) the tank mix product is labeled for the timing and method of application for the use site to be treated; and (2) tank mixing is not prohibited by the label of the tank mix product.

Tank Mixing Precautions: • Read carefully and follOW all applicable use directions, precautions, and limitations on the respective

product labels. • Do not exceed recommended application rates. Do not tank mix with another pesticide product that

contains the same active ingredient as this product unless the label of either tank mix partner specifies the maximum dosages that may be used.

• For products packaged in water soluble packaging, do not tank mix with products containing boron or mix in equipment previously used to apply a product mixture containing boron unless the tank and spray equipment has been adequately cleaned. (See instructions for Sprayer Clean-Out.)

• Always perform a (jar) test to ensure the compatibility of products to be used in tank mixture.

Tank Mix Compatibility Testing: A jar test is recommended prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of Stinger and other pesticides. Use a clear glass quart jar with lid and mix the tank mix ingredients in the required order and their relative proportions. Invert the jar containing the mixture several times and observe the mixture for approximately 1/2 hour. If the mixture balls-up, forms flakes, sludges, jels, oily films or layers, or other precipitates, it is not compatible and the tank mix combination should not be used.

Application Directions

Application Timing Apply to actively growing weeds. Extreme growing condHlons such as drought or near freezing temperatures prior to, at, or following application may reduce weed control and increase the risk of crop injury at all stages of growth. Only weeds that have emerged at the time of application will be affected. If


foliage is wet at the time of application, control may be decreased. Applications of Stinger are rainfast within 6 hours after application.

Application Rates Generally, application rates at the lower end of the recommended rate range will be satisfactory for young, succulent growth of susceptible weed species. For less sensitive species, perennials, and under conditions where control is more difficult (plant stress conditions such as drought or extreme temperatures, dense weed stands and/or larger weeds), the higher rates within the rate range will be needed. Weeds in fallow land or other areas where competition from crops is not present will generally require higher rates for control or suppression.

Rate Range Maximum Use Rate T

Crop or Use Site (pt/acre) (pt/acrelarowlna season) spinach 1/6 - 1/3 1/2 barley, oats wheat 1/4 - 1/3 1/3 Christmas tree and cottonwood/poplar 1/4 - 213 213 and eucalyptus tree plantations, fallow cropland, field corn, grasses grown for seed, sugar beet garden beet canola (rapeseed), cram be 1/4 - 1/2 1/2 mint. stone fruits, popcorn, sweet corn 1/3- 2/3 213 turnip 1/3 - 1/2 1/2 permanent grasses on CRP land, 1/3-11/3 1 1/3 noncropland, non-leguminous trees, rangeland and permanent grass pastures asparagus 1/2·213 213 T Do not exceed maximum rate In rate range per growing season.

Use of Adjuvants Addition of surfactants, crop oils, or other adjuvants is not usually necessary when using Stinger. Adding a surfactant to the spray mixture may increase effectiveness on weeds but may reduce selectivity to the crop, particularly under conditions of plant stress. If an adjuvant is added to the spray solution, follow all manufacturer use guidelines.

Spray Coverage Use sufficient spray volume to provide thorough coverage and a uniform spray pattern. Do not broadcast apply in less than 2 gallons of total spray volume per acre. For best results and to minimize spray drift, apply in a spray volume of 10 gallons or more per acre. As vegetative canopy and weed density increase, spray volume should be increased to obtain equivalent weed control. Use only nozzle types and spray equipment designed for herbicide application. To reduce spray drift, follow precautions under Avoiding Injury to Non-Target Plants.

Spot Treatments To prevent misapplication, it is recommended that spot treatments be applied only with a calibrated boom or with hand sprayers according to directions provided below.

Hand-Held Sprayers: Hand-held sprayers may be used for spot applications. Care should be taken to apply the spray unrtormly and at a rate equivalent to a broadcast application. Application rates in the table are based on an area of 1000 sq ft. Mix the amount of Stinger (fl oz or ml) corresponding to the desired broadcast rate in lor more gallons of spray. To calculate the amount of Stinger required for larger areas, multiply the table value (fl oz or ml) by the area to be treated in "thousands' of square feet, e.g., if the area to be treated is 3500 sq ft, multiply the table value by 3.5 (calc. 3500 + 1000 = 3.5). An area of 1000 sq ft is approximately 10.5 x 10.5 yards (strides) in size.

t See Guidelines for Control of Specific Weeds for additional information on application timing and af-plicatlon rates. t These weeds may only be suppressed. Suppression is a visual reduction in weed competition (reduced population or vigor) as compared to untreated areas. The degree and duration of weed control will vary with weed size and density, application rate and coverage, and growing conditions before, during, and after treatment. For perennial weeds such as Russian knapweed and perennial sowthistle, Stinger will control the top growth and inhibit regrowth during the season of application (season-long control). At higher use rates shown on this label, Stinger may cause a reduction in shoot regrowth in the season fOllowing application: however, plant response may be inconsistent due to inherent variability in shoot r~rowth from perennial root systems. tt Not approved for use in California.

A2A / Stinger / Notil /03-24-04 Page 14

Asparagus

Stinger is recommended for selective postemergence control of specific annual and perennial broad leaf weeds infesting asparagus.

Application Timing Applications may be made before or during the asparagus cutting season, or after harvest is complete, but prior to fern growth. Treat annual weeds before they send up a flower stalk. For best results on perennial weeds such as Canada thistle, apply Stinger after the majority of basal leaves have emerged up to bud stage. Following application wait at least 2 weeks before cultivating. Note: Postharvest (layby) applications should be made as soon as possible after cutting provided weeds are in proper stage of growth for treatment. Malformed ferns may result from application when spears are longer than 3 inches or with open seed heads.

Application Rate Apply Stinger at a rate of 1/2 to 213 pint per acre in a total spray volume of 10 to 40 gallons per acre. Use the higher rate for more effective control of perennial weeds. A second application may be made as long as the total amount applied does not exceed 213 pint per acre of Stinger during the growing season.

Tank Mixtures for Asparagus Stinger may be tank mixed with other herbicides registered for use on asparagus to broaden the spectrum of weeds controlled. See Tank Mixing Precautions under Mixing Instructions. Follow all applicable use directions, precautions, restrictions and limitations on the labels for each product used in the tank mixture.

Specific Use Precautions: • Preharvest Interval: Do not harvest for a minimum of 48 hours after application. • When Stinger is applied during the cutting season, some crooking (twisting) of asparagus spears may

occur. Do not apply during the cutting season if crooking cannot be tolerated. Clear-cutting of spears just before applying Stinger may reduce the occurrence of crooking.

Barley, Oats and Wheat

Application Rate Apply 1/4 to 1/3 pint per acre 01 Stinger when crop is Irom the 3 leaf stage up to early boot stage of growth. For control of perennial weeds such as Canada thistle, 1/3 pint per acre of Stinger should be used. Russian knapweed will only be suppressed at this rate.

Specific Use Restrictions: • Do not permit lactating dairy animals or meat animals being finished for slaughter to forage or graze

treated grain fields within 1 week after treatment. • Do not harvest hay from treated grain fields.

Tank Mixtures for Barley, Oats and Wheat Stinger may be applied in tank mix combination with labeled rates of other products registered lor postemergence application in wheat, barley, and oats. See Tank Mixing Precautions under Mixing Instructions. When tank mixing, do not exceed recommended application rates and use only in accordance with the most restrictive precautions and limitations on the respective product labels.

Canol a (Rapeseed) and Crambe

(Not registered for use in California)

Application Timing


Apply to canola or cram be in the 2 to 6 leaf stage of crop growth at rates shown in the following table. Consult the table entitled Guidelines for Control of Specific Weeds for additional information. Apply Stinger un~ormly with ground or aerial equipment in 10 to 20 gallons total spray volume per acre (minimum of 5 gallons per acre by air).

When tank mixing, do not exceed recommended application rates and use only in accordance with the most restrictive precautions and lim itations on the respective product labels.

Christmas Tree Plantations

Application Timing Stinger is recommended for over the top application to actively growing balsam fir, blue spruce, Douglas fir, Fraser fir, grand fir, lodgepole pine, noble fir, ponderosa pine, and white pine. In the Pacific Northwest, do not apply in the first year of transplanting. (Some needle curling has been observed on first year transplants.) Apply to actively growing weeds. For control of annual weeds, apply Stinger from weed emergence up to the 5-leaf stage of growth (for wild buckwheat, application at 3 to 5 leaf stage of growth, but before vining, is recommended). For control of weeds such as Canada thistle and knapweeds. apply after the majority of the basal leaves have emerged up to bud stage. Later application may result in less consistent control.

Application Rate Apply 1/4 to 1/2 pint per acre of Stinger for control of annual weeds. Apply 1/2 to 213 pint per acre of Stinger for difficult to control weeds such as Canada thistle and knapweeds. Apply as a broadcast or band application in a minimum of 10 gallons per acre by ground application. Use the formulas under Band Application to determine the appropriate rate and volume per treated acre.

Stinger may be applied as a spot treatment using a hand-held sprayer at an equivalent broadcast rate of 1/2 to 213 pint per acre. Refer to instructions for Spot Treatment and Hand-held Sprayers under Application Directions in the General Information section.


SPecific Use Precautions: oRe-treat as necessary, but do not exceed 2/3 pint per acre of Stinger per annual growing season. o Blue spruce: Do not exceed 1/2 pint per acre per annual growing season. o Tree injury may occur with the addition of a surfactant or crop oil with Stinger. Do not use unless

previous experience shows injury is tolerable. o Do not apply with an air blast sprayer.

Corn (Field, Pop and Sweet)

Stinger is recommended for postemergence control of Canada thistle, Jerusalem artichoke, annual sowthistle, common sunflower, common cocklebur, giant and common ragweed, jimsonweed and other broadleaf weeds infesting field corn. Apply Stinger at suggested timing and rates for field, pop and sweet corn as indicated below.

General Weed Control For control of common cocklebur, giant ragweed, common ragweed, sunflower, other annual weeds and Jerusalem artichoke, apply 1/4 to 1/2 pint per acre of Stinger from weed emergence up to the 5 leaf stage of growth. Use a higher rate listed for heavy infestations or when greater residual control is desired. Consult the table entitled Guidelines for Control of Specific Weeds for additional information.

Control of Canada Thistle For effective control of Canada thistle, apply 1/3 to 2/3 pint per acre of Stinger as a broadcast treatment to the entire infested area. Apply when the majority of thistle plants have emerged, and thistles are at least 6 to 8 inches in diameter or height up to bud stage. Cultivation can disrupt translocation to the roots of Canada thistle. For best long-term control, do not cuttivate before or after application. If cultivation is necessary, wait 14 to 20 days aiter application before cultivating to allow for thorough translocation.

Control of Canada thistle is influenced by growing conditions, density and size of thistle plant at application, tillage practices used, etc. Light infestations (less than 10 plants per square yard) will generally be adequately controlled with a rate of 1/3 pint per acre. For medium to heavy infestations (more than 10 plants per square yard), rates of 1/2 to 2/3 pint per acre are generally more effective since these Canada thistle stands involve an extensive rhizome system.

The following are general descriptions of control to be expected from -each rate of application given a medium to heavy population of Canada thistle. Control of lighter infestations may be better than that described.

o A rate of 1/3 pint per acre will suppress top growth of Canada thistle for 6 to 8 weeks. Some regrowth may occur by the end of the season, but this will not interfere with harvesting of the crop.

o A rate of 1/2 pint per acre will generally provide season long control of Canada thistle. Not all rhizomes will be killed and some regrowth may occur by the end of the growing season.

o A rate of 2/3 pint per acre will provide season long control of Canada thistle plus suppression into the following season, resulting in a reduction of the total number of Canada thistle plants in the treated area.

Field Corn

Application Timing Apply Stinger to actively growing broad leaf weeds any time aiter corn emergence through 24 inch tall com. Apply with ground equipment as a postemergence broadcast or directed spray in 10 gallons or more of spray volume per acre to ensure uniform and thorough spray coverage of the weed fOliage. Use only spray nozzles designed for herbicide application. The use of flat fan nozzles provides the best coverage and distribution of chemical on the plant foliage. Use spray pressures (at the boom) recommended by nozzle manufacturers to obtain desired spray volume. Use higher spray volumes when weed foliage is dense.

A2A 1 Stinger 1 Notif 1 03-24-04 Page 17 N):J.Z

SpecHlc Use Restrictions for Field Corn • Re-treat as necessary, but do not apply more than 213 pint per acre of Stinger per year. • Do not apply to field com greater than 24 inches tall. • Do not allow livestock to graze treated areas or harvest treated corn Silage as feed within 40 days after

last treatment.

Tank Mlxturee or Sequential Applications for Field Corn See Tank Mixing Precautions under Mixing Instructions. When tank mixing, do not exceed recommended application rates and use only in accordance with the most restrictive precautions and limitations on the respective product labels. If Stinger is applied sequentially or in combination with Hornet' or Scorpion' III herbicides to the current corn crop, the maximum application rate for Stinger is indicated in the following tables:

Rate of Hornet Applied to Maximum Application Rate Current Corn Crop for Stinger

(ozlacre) (fl ozlacre) 1.6 8.1 2.4 6.8 3.2 5.4 4.0 4.0

lib/acre) (fl ozlacre) 0.25 8.1

Note: Maximum use rate for clopyralid is 0.25 Ib a.e. per acre. One ounce of Hornet contains 0.039 Ib of clopyralid. One-fourth pound of Scorpion III contains 0.0625 Ib of clopyralid. One ounce of Stinger contains 0.023 Ib of clopyralid.

Corn Inbred Lines or Breeding Stock Susceptibility of corn to injury from Stinger is highly related to varietal response. Inbred lines or any breeding stock may be injured by Stinger. Contact your seed production agronomist for advice before applying Stinger to inbred lines or breeding stock.

Hand-Held Sprayers Stinger may be applied as a spot treatment using a hand-held sprayer at an equivalent broadcast rate of 213 pint per acre. Refer to instructions for Spot Treatment and Hand-held Sprayers under Application Directions in the General Information section. Applications should be made on a spray-to-wet basiS with spray coverage uniform and complete. Do not spray to the point of runoff.

Popcorn and Sweet Corn


Application Timing Popcorn: Apply Sbnger any time after popcorn emergence through 24-inch tall popcorn. Sweet corn: Apply Stinger any time after sweet corn emergence through 18-inch tall sweet corn.

Application Rate Apply 1/3 to 213 pint per acre of Stinger uniformly w~h ground equipment as a broadcast or directed spray in 10 to 20 gallons total spray volume per acre. For control of Canada thistle, apply Stinger when the majority of thistle plants have emerged and thistles are at least 6 to 8 inches in diameter or height, but before bud stage. For control of Jerusalem artichoke, common cocklebur, jimsonweed, ragweed (common and giant), annual sowthistle, and sunflower, apply Stinger from weed emergence up to the 5


leat stage of growth. Use a higher rate listed for heavy infestations or when greater residual control is desired. Consult the table entitled Guidelines for Control of Specific Weeds for additional information.

Specific Use Precautions for Popcorn and Sweet Corn: • Preharvest Interval: Do not apply within 30 days of harvest for ears and forage and 60 days of harvest

for stover. • Make 1 to 2 broadcast applications per crop per year. not to exceed a total of 213 pint per acre. • Rs-treatment Interval: 21 days. • Do not apply to popcorn greater than 24 inches tall or sweet corn greater than 18 inches tall.

Tank Mixtures for Popcorn and Sweet Corn Stinger may be tank mixed with other herbicides labeled for use on popcorn and sweet corn. When tank mixing, do not exceed recommended application rates and use only in accordance with the most restrictive precautions and limitations on the respective product labels.

Cottonwood/Poplar and Eucalyptus Tree Plantations

Stinger may be used for selective postemergence control of labeled broad leaf weeds in new and established plantings of cottonwood/poplar and eucalyptus tree plantations. Apply as a broadcast foliar spray over trees or as a banded or directed spray at a rate of 1/3 to 213 pint per acre. Apply in 10 gallons or more per acre total spray volume using ground equipment only. Multiple applications of Stinger may be made as long as the total rate per growing season does not exceed 1 1/3 pints per acre. Apply to new plantings only after they are well established as indicated by several inches of new healthy growth.

See Guidelines for Control of Specific Weeds for recommended rates and timing for specific susceptible annual, biennial. and perennial weeds.

Hand-Held Sprayers Spot applications using hand held equipment are also allowed, but contact with tree foliage should be avoided or limited to lower branches. Apply to weeds on a spray-to-wet basis with spray coverage uniform and complete. Do not spray to the point of runoff. Prepare a spray solution by adding 1/4 II oz Stinger per gallon of water. When applied at 1 gallon of spray per 1000 sq ft, this spray concentration is equivalent to a broadcast rate of 213 pint per acre.

Specific Use Precautions: • Do not tank mix Stinger with other herbicides labeled for this use unless spray aVOids all contact with

tree foliage. • Stinger will not control certain broadleaf weeds, including mustards, hen bit, chickweed, kochia,

lam bsquarters , pigweed, Russian thistle and bindweed.

Fallow Cropland

Application Timing Stinger can be applied either postharvest, in the spring/summer (during fallow period), or to set-aside acres to control or suppress listed weeds (refer to rotation restrictions). Apply to young, emerged weeds under conditions that promote active growth. For best results on perennial weeds such as Canada thistle, apply after the majority of the basal leaves have emerged up to bud stage. Later applications may result in less consistent control. Extreme growing conditions (such as drought or near freeZing temperatures) prior to, at, or following application may reduce weed control.

For best results, wait 14 to 20 days after application before cultivating or fertilizing with shank-type applicators to allow for thorough translocation.

Rangeland, Pasture, CRP and Non-Crop Uses

Rotation to Broadleaf Crops: Do not plant broad leaf crops in treated areas until an adequately sensitive bioassay shows that no detectable clopyralid is present in the soil. (See Crop Rotation Restrictions in General Information section.)

Rangeland and Permanent Grass Pastures

Apply 1/2 to 1 1/3 pint per acre of Stinger when weeds are young and actively growing. Established grasses are tolerant to Stinger, but new grass seedlings may be injured to varying degrees until the grass has become well established as indicated by vigorous growth and development of tillers and secondary roots.

Note: Some forbs (deSirable broadleaf forage plants) are susceptible to Stinger. Do not spray pastures containing desirable forbs, especially legumes, unless injury can be tolerated. However. the stand and growth of established perennial grasses is usually improved after spraying, especially when rainfall is adequate and grazing is deferred.

Do not use hay or straw from treated areas for composting or mulching on susceptible broadleaf crops. (See Residues in Plants or Manure section.)

There are no restrictions on grazing or hay harvest following application of Stinger at labeled rates.

Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) for Seeding to Permanent Grasses Only

Do not use Stinger if legumes or bentgrass are a desired cover during CRP.

Conditions of plant stress, such as drought. will increase potential for injury to grasses at all stages of growth. Do not apply to newly seeded areas until grass is established.

Application Tlmfng Stinger should be applied when perennial grasses are well established as indicated by vigorous growth and development of tillers and secondary roots. At this stage, most perennial grasses have shown adequate tolerance to Stinger. Application prior to the flowering stage is recommended (still in the bud stage).

Application Rate For control of actively growing weeds such as musk thistle, Canada thistle, and knapweed (spotted, diffuse, and RuSSian), apply 213 to 1 1/3 pint per acre of Stinger after the majority of basal leaves have emerged up to bud stage. For control of wild buckwheat, volunteer sunflower, and musk thistle rosettes, apply 213 pint per acre of Stinger. For best resutts, use in 10 gallons or more of water per acre by ground. Increasing the rate of application can increase the risk of injury.

Tank Mixtures for CRP for Seeding to Permanent Grasses Only Stinger can also be tank mixed with 1/2 to 1 Ib per acre of 2,4-D where species present are sensitive to 2,4-D. See Tank Mixing Precautions under Mixing Instructions.

Non-Cropland

Stinger may be applied in non-cropland areas such as fencerows, around farm buildings and equipment pathways. Note: Stinger is not registered for use in landscaping or on turfgrass or lawns.

Application Rate For control of broadleaf weeds, apply 1/4 to 1 1/3 pint per acre of Stinger. The lower rate of 1/4 pint per acre provides acceptable control of weeds only under highly favorable growing conditions and when plants are 1 to 3 inches tall. Apply 1/2 pint per acre when weeds are 3 to 6 inches tall or under dry conditions. Where Canada thistle or knapweeds are the primary pest, best results are obtained by applying 2/3 to 1 1/3 pint per acre of Stinger.

Tank Mixtures for Non·Cropland To improve spectrum of weed control or to increase control of more mature weeds, Stinger may be tank mixed with 0.5 to 2.0 Ib a.e. per acre of 2,4-0 amine or low volatile ester herbicide or other herbicides registered for this use site. See Tank Mixing Precautions under Mixing Instructions. When tank mixing, do not exceed recommended application rates and use only in accordance with the most restrictive precautions and limitations on the respective product labels.
